What's Up with the BRIGHTEST DAY dc story line?? Tungkol saan ito??

[darkjacen]

Brightest day picks up after the Blackest Night. It's supposed to herald a new golden age for DC's characters. Some believe this will start with the appearance of the bearers of the White Light of creation, something that was introduced in the pages of Blackest Night. (think White Lanterns)

Long story short, it'll be 26 issues bi-weekly starting right after the end of Blackest Night. Something akin to the 52 line that DC had after Infinite Crisis.

[maniladawg]

I believe Marvel has the same idea after the Siege story line.

[stevenrogers]

Yup, the Heroic Age...where Steve Rogers dons the costume of the new Cap. I think Bucky will die sa Siege 4. :cry::confused:

[MarcOfTheCross]

too bad hindi nagclick yung poor attempt ng marvel to rival Blackest Night's market (ehem..necrosha..)
i'm still a fan of the current line up of x-force though.

and yeah, nabasa ko rin somewhere na someone close to cap will die during siege storyline...

[javeyx]

and yeah, nabasa ko rin somewhere na someone close to cap will die during siege storyline...Conrad will die sa SIEGE?!?! Oh no. Dibs sa kanyang Zombie collection. Akin na yun bwahaha.

[Abyssinian13]

well I hope, thinks get better na sa DC universe once brightest day launches.

[darkjacen]

I'll be honest. I'm not too excited about Brightest Day. If anything it means that Blackest Night will end with a cliff hanger. Not something I look forward to.

[pilderaboy]

Yup, the Heroic Age...where Steve Rogers dons the costume of the new Cap. I think Bucky will die sa Siege 4. :cry::confused:


i read somewhere that bucky was confirmed to be the captain america post-siege.steve's supposed to run some sort of version of the initiative, only anyone can sign up voluntarily.

anyways, im excited with this whole heroic age event.ung mga new lineups pa lang para sa mga bagong teams is very intriguing..sample, the new thunderbolts are cage, juggernaut, man-thing, crossbones, moonstone!:o

[maniladawg]

I'm a Thunderbolt FAN ... but the Line Up under Osborn kinda suck. Paladin, Ghost, etc..

Paladin and Ghost would have been OK if the rest of the Crew were good BUT as it is the rest are a BUNCH of wannabees

[maniladawg]

Heroic Age might reform the Original Avengers... Thor, Cap and Iron Man maybe no Hulk maybe GiantMan/Yellow Jacket

Just read Blackest Night 7. Wow...I didn't see that coming. Guardian lies...all lies.

[spiderknyt]

white lantern sinestro? haha.

WOW! white lantern sinestro! nyahaha!

[Abyssinian13]

Excited na ako mabasa ang white Lantern Oath. :D

[Abyssinian13]

Now that Sinestro was revealed as the prophesized White Lantern, I wonder how he will affect Brightest Day?

Also on a lighter note, I think Sinestro needs a name change now. :P

[darkjacen]

Probably not. Look at the covers for the month after Blackest Night, Sinestro's back to being just regular Fear-power sinestro.

[maniladawg]

WOW! white lantern sinestro! nyahaha!

Ha ha ha. Time to Mod Sinestro ... at least repaint HE HE HE

[Abyssinian13]

@Dawg

Anong imomod mo bro? :) yung SR?

[jmz4lyf]

life originated on earth?? not profound. ok yung blackest night. yung siege pass siguro ako. nadala na ako sa secret invasion. so far yung blackest night ngeenjoy ako. pero honestly masnageenjoy ako sa secret six and guardians of the galaxy. yung dalawang yun tlga inaabangan ko every month with anticipation.

pero yung white lantern sinestro solid tlga e. hindi ko inexpect tlga yun. ok b yung GL tie-ins ng blackest night? parang yung GL run yata yung EPIC tlga e. both GL titles. kaso hindi ko nabasa mga yun except for sinestro corp wars.

caught me by surprise too. When Hal realized that the white light was an entity, I was getting ready to shout "white lantern Hal Jordan!!". Kaso bagal nya kumilos. Hehe. This places the upcoming Brightest Day into an entirely new perspective.

Life starting on earth kinda twists everything around. Feels like discovering that the earth IS the center of the solar system pala. Hehe. I admire the guts, though, in changing the DC universe all over again... Even if it does conflict with one of my favorite Sandman stories: The Heart of a Star from the endless nights collection.

[Abyssinian13]

I was not surprised when Sinestro became the white lantern. There has been talks bout him becoming the white lantern in DC forums. Also hints of him becoming the white lantern was being dropped throught the whole run of blackest night and its crossovers. Sinestro becoming the White Lantern is Sinestro's shot at redemption for everything that happened in his past.

[Geof-Force]

It's certainly a great story though it irks me that the juicy bits like Parallax "rescuing" the Spectre (and Spectre promptly saying "no touch" on the entire thing because, well, Nekron has no soul to judge and leaving... WTF!) happens in GL titles. But I guess this is a Green Lantern story and it's the Corps time to shine. Anyway, I'm already looking forward to the "100 minute War" for War of the Supermen. :cool:

[spiderknyt]

YES!! time to repaint (or mod) my SR SINESTRO!!

The Tie-ins aren't bad at all. (except for Doom Patrol...really that was horrible). They give hints as to what weaknessess the Black Lanterns have. Also it explains a bit more about the story, you learn how Nekron came to be, about the inner struggles of some heroes etc. You MUST read Blackest Night Superman and Wonderwoman. BN Flash you can pass, not the best of the three. Blackest Night JSA is also good. The one thing all the tie-ins prove is that the core of the story is a GL story. Coast city is the epicenter for of the Blackest Night.


YES!! time to repaint (or mod) my SR SINESTRO!!
And there goes $60 down the drain. It's nice and all that he got the white entity but it won't last long. Longer than Sinestro Bats I'll admit.

Expect an SR White Lantern Sinestro...:cheeky:

[Ninjato]

SR? I'd say chase most likely...

[maniladawg]

@Dawg

Anong imomod mo bro? :) yung SR?

Probably not. Yung REV probably and re-paint lang siguro.

[darkjacen]

SR? I'd say chase most likely...

Yeah more chase fig than SR (which would still be an SR either way :p)

astig nga eh parang "24" ang effect. :) Finally DC's giving Supes a proper storyline. :)

[darkjacen]

Just read Dark X-men #5...

Nate Grey, one of the most, if not most, powerful Mutant Psionic on the planet gets defeated in the mindscape of Norman Osborn...Now Osborn wants to put the defeated Grey into the Omega Machine.

I find it disappointing that Marvel writers now just shuck characters that are well known and make substandard stories about them. There's no love for the characters that have been carefully made over time. It's because of writers like these that made me switch to DC comics in the first place. :tired: Also several things just don't add up. The story seemed rushed.

On the bright side though the X-men will have a new role with the upcoming cross over title X-men: Second Coming. With any luck it'll redeem them.


Action Comics 887 and Superman: last Stand of New Krypton were also released this week. I like how they keep adding elements of Kryptonian mythology. The Flamebird, the Nightwing and the builder. And now they even added Rao, definately worth following.

We'll just have to wait and see. I get the feeling that those are only a few of those revived.

Jennifer Lynn-Hayden, you guys might know her as Jade. (I really thought everyone knew who Jade was:noid:)

Re: Blackhand, sucks to be him at the moment. if you read the Thoughts of Black Hand part he went something like.

"My name is William Hand, Help Me...":p

[Abyssinian13]

How many times does DC have to friggin revive the Anti-Monitor?:tired:

Well, at least there will be a lot of interesting repercussions with the revival of several dead heroes.

Maxwell Lord- See Giffen's Justice League: generation lost

Boston Brand(Deadman)- How can deadman be deadman if he's alive? and notice that he's still wearing his white ring.

[ecchs]

Di ba patay na si Donald Pierce dati pa? (i could be wrong on this.)

[Tensai no Ero]

Di ba patay na si Donald Pierce dati pa? (i could be wrong on this.)

Died, but didn't, appeared to die at least a couple more times, but didn't anyway, was captured by the x-men, appeared to have reformed, but actually didn't and is now dead... again... for now. What? :|

[spiderknyt]

tama ka dyan dawg, in fact it turns out na acting lang yung ginawa ni loki sa siege #4, pag binasa nyo yung siege: loki one shot, bago sha bumait, anticipated nya na mamamatay sha kaya nakipag deal agad kay hela na hindi sha punta ng hel pag namatay...sooner or later babalik na agad si loki.

On another note though...What was Seige about? I don't really follow Marvel titles other than X-men but this thing about Asgard is interesting. Is it really gone?

Wonder Woman 2.0

She has a new look and new back story: http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/93808?fp=1

"In the reimagining of her story, Wonder Woman, instead of growing up on Paradise Island with her mother, Queen Hippolyta, and her Amazon sisters, is smuggled out as a baby when unknown forces destroy her home and slaughter its inhabitants."

[MarcOfTheCross]

what?? si this going to be an alternate reality thingy? or would it be canonical to the current events in DC?

[ecchs]

i bet this has something to do with bruce wayne going back to the present, disrupting time/space continuum and all that jazz....

[maniladawg]

i bet this has something to do with bruce wayne going back to the present, disrupting time/space continuum and all that jazz....

How is GOING to disrupt the time/space continuum?? Sinabi na ba??

[Insulares]

Well, this will appear in Wonder Woman No. 601 - does this mean its part of the canon.

@ecchs - according to the interview, the Olympian Gods change the continuity, not Bruce.

Actually, from the other reports, this looks like a canon change:

[wakeke]

does iron man still have extremist powers? in my understanding during secret invasion iron man started losing his extremist powers due to the skrull virus. in the end did he loose the extremist permanently? or was it just temporary?

[spiderknyt]

he lost it permanently. but he made a new one better than extremis.

[spiderdudephil]

i am curious anyone here still reads amazing spider-man??

gauntlet had some good stories

grim hunt was excellent

omit was not good but at least they resolved OMD issues and hey MJ is back as a very important supporting character

now its origin of the species...looks to have lots of action in the 2nd part of the arc

[spiderknyt]

I read amazing spider-man religiously. :)

I'm one of the few people who liked OMIT and OMD.

I liked brand new day, new ways to die, american son and the issue with rhino written by joe kelly. :)

[maniladawg]

with names like spiderdudephil & spiderknyt. i would think spider-man is a comics you read. LOL. you guys should get a room. ANYWAYS. does spidey have a story arc right now??

i'm reading SHADOWLAND, excellent. also the X-Men's Curse of the Mutant (blah, so far). Brightest Day seems to be a drag. i hate the THOR binge Marvel is doing (pushing for the movie , i guess).

[spiderdudephil]

spiderknyt: great to see someone who read spider-man regularly...i seldom see spider-man readers. kinda rare breed nowadays

maniladawg: yes...origin of the species. Its spidey vs. 12 of his villains. Dont like the art thou.

i like shadowland as well..my fav part well when spidey kicked DD's face

[Insulares]

spiderdudephil - when I was a kid I had access to my uncle's comic collection. So I grew up on a staple of silver age spider-man, superman and batman comics. I don't really read those anymore since I went with the DC Vertigo crowd, and I read comics by author - mostly allan moore, grant morrison and frank miller.

Oh, and a lot of Usagi Yojimbo ;)

[spiderknyt]

I also like shadowland, I liked it so much I made a mod out of my extra DD:

http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=286391

Now i'm planning on doinga mod of his hand ninjas next.

X-men curse of the mutants is so-so. But X-Force: Sex and Violence is excellent! (full of sex and violence) Can't wait for Uncanny X-force next month!

[LabRat]

My current pull list:

Avengers
Secret Avengers
Avengers Academy
New Avengers

Mini-series/Limited Series:
Shadowland (I'm also getting the Daredevil tie-ins)
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Avengers: Children's Crusade
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (based on the animated series)


I moved from Spider-Man to Avengers after Brand New Day. Thrice a month is too much - I was forced to choose between Spider-Man and the Avengers and I chose the Avengers, and I'm glad I did - the Avengers are currently being put into the spotlight :)

I didn't like Shadowland that much though. I regret picking up the title :(

[spiderknyt]

Amazing Spider-man's current storyline "BIG TIME" is really good. Even non-spider-man fans agree. :) and Amazing is now TWICE monthly after BND. And is written solely by Dan Slott. Drawn by rotating artists Humberto Ramos, Stefano Caselli and Marcos Martin. :)

[GauBan]

Current Pull List:

Secret Warriors - Hickman
Shield - Hickman
Green Lantern and Brightest Day - Geoff
GLC

how i wish stefano caselli is back in SW, though Vitti actually is good.

Ecchs, huli ka na. Last month's issue pa yan.:laugh: the Indigo rings work different from the others. Think of it this way, they had to keep Black hand, alive and in a state of mind where he'd "feel" for others. It's better than the alternative of having Nekron "around" in the DC universe.

Oh wow...I just read GL 60

The identity of the guy stealing the Entities was revealed.

He's Krona .

Brightest Day 16 is also out. New Aqualad etc...

@GauBan:

Atom wasn't forced to wear the ring diba? He wasn't forced to feel compassion, he's supposed to be compassionate. (I think at least)

Anyone reading the Age of X titles? Aside from Age of X Alpha and chapters 1-2 has anything else been released?

[LabRat]

@darkjacen: None yet. The Age of X titles are going to be limited to X-Men Legacy and New Mutants, I think. That means you'll have to wait until next month for Chapters 3-4.

I like it, quite similar to Age of Apocalypse but different enough that it's still interesting.

[maniladawg]

Waiting for Flashpoint. Sana maganda. Two of my favorite series are ALTERED/DIFFERENT TIMELINES, namely Age of Apocalypse and Kingdom Come.

Age of X is sucking real bad at this point. Brightest Day simply took too long, nobody cares at this point. Sigh. Year long storylines aren't good, they should know this by now.

[darkjacen]

It just ended though, brightest day I mean, it's just like that series after infinite crisis. I'm not too sure how War of the GLs will turn out either. Yung Age of X was just meh...

[spiderknyt]

corny ng revelation sa age of x! kinuha lang pala sila ni legion!

[ecchs]

obviously involved si Legion. sya ang pinagmulan nung age of apocalypse. the orginal age of apocalypse storyline ang da bes. yung mga sumunod, meh.......similar to other storylines na sana dun na natapos, sinundan pa at piniga ng husto kaya nawalan ng kwenta. ex: infinity gauntlet. ayos na sana yung 6 issue series sinundan pa nung infinity war at crusade.......

Unfortunately Excellent Storylines will be followed up by other storylines which in MOST cases are in the words of Ecchs .... meh

[maniladawg]

Flashpoint is GOOD so far. Barry Allen got burned to a crisp, trying to be the Flash. I like how the stories are unfolding so far.

I'm also enjoying the FEAR ITSELF storyline. In FEAR ITSELF - The Deep, Namor got his @$$ kicked by the AMPED up Attuma. Namor calls on Dr Strange who calls on the Defenders. He got Lyra daughter of Hulk (Hulk is one of the WORTHY) and silver surfer. So, its the Defenders Lite. Namor, Surfer, depowered Dr Strange and Lyra (no carb Hulk).

War of the Green Lantern is OK so far.

[alvintanmd]

What issues from the Fear itself crossovers are a must read? Dont want to get everything.

doc, start with the core story line and yung prologue. as far the rest of the tie-ins go. depende na sa taste mo. although, i'll keep you updated dito.

[darkjacen]

Ugh...War of the Green Lanterns Conclusion just got released...I can't wait for the reboot.

Top 3 reasons for me.

1. Mogo was killed
2. John Stewart Murdered Mogo
3. See #1.

On the bright side, Flashpoint is really interesting. Though whatever happened to Aquawar...

Makes me want to build an Atlantis themed army!

[Geof-Force]

Ugh...War of the Green Lanterns Conclusion just got released...I can't wait for the reboot.

Top 3 reasons for me.

1. Mogo was killed
2. John Stewart Murdered Mogo
3. See #1.

On the bright side, Flashpoint is really interesting. Though whatever happened to Aquawar...

Don't get your hopes too high, man. I hear the Batman and Green Lantern corners of the DCU are the least affected by DCNu. Very little will change, if at all.

[darkjacen]

Yeah I'm aware of that. It's still Johns writing the same title and he already mentioned that he won't really change it that much. Still here's hoping that sa reboot WALA NA SI STEWART. I mean if they can just "off" JSA as well, why not one emergency replacement for the replacement.

Mogo cries for vengeance!?!?!:angry:

Hmm I think mogo's death wasn't enough.... Tons more should have died since it is a war after all....

[darkjacen]

Hmm I think mogo's death wasn't enough.... Tons more should have died since it is a war after all....

Yeah tons died, all of them civilians. Krona ftw!

[caguioa]

hi. do you have a torrent ng war of the green lanterns? can't find any.:devious:

[hayate]

ebookee try mo

[Armageddon Star]

Yeah tons died, all of them civilians. Krona ftw!

Yeah, he got toast!

Maybe they should use lethal force on sodam yat and zardor too!

So I am waiting for most blackest night: the revenge of the black lanterns...

[maniladawg]

Uh guys a few questions. How was War of Kings? What about Realm of Kings? Are these storylines any good?

[hayate]

War of Kings ok lng for blackbolt fans..pero binuhay ulit sya sa FF (future foundation)

[LabRat]

Mas maaappreciate mo yung cosmic storylines kung nasimulan mo - Annihilation, Annihilation Conquest, War of Kings, Thanos Imperative...

[darkjacen]

Sige, thanks for the suggestions. I may not entirely like the regular Marvel issues pero these cosmic ones might work for me. Thanks!

[maniladawg]

Sige, thanks for the suggestions. I may not entirely like the regular Marvel issues pero these cosmic ones might work for me. Thanks!

Annihilation & Annihilation Conquest are pretty good.

[LabRat]

Annihilation & Annihilation Conquest are pretty good.

I liked Annihilation and all the prequel tie-ins. And I liked The Thanos Imperative. It's like watching a full season or two of an epic TV show, so I recommend starting with Annihilation and following it all until Thanos Imperative.

[iron_cowboy]

who's reading Marvel's Fear Itself? any comments?

[LabRat]

I am. Hmm, hindi pa tapos so pwede pang magbago opinion ko pero sa ngayon...

You need to get a couple of tie-ins to get the complete experience. I don't know if the Worthy will make appearances in the main series, but most of their battles happen in the tie-ins. So far, the tie-ins to read are Invincible Iron Man (Iron Man vs Grey Gargoyle in France, best battle that I've seen so far), Journey Into Mystery (originally Thor, where you'll get additional info about the Serpent), Thunderbolts and Uncanny X-Men (to see them fail to stop the unstoppable Juggernaut - at least guaranteed na fail yung Thunderbolts - umabot sa X-Men si Juggs eh), Avengers Academy (the academy teachers vs Absorbing Man and Titania).

[maniladawg]

Yes I'm reading it. Too many tie-ins. Some good. Some bad. I like the worthy's BUT sabi nga ni Al yung Worthy's are NOT featured in the main story.

I keep thinking, if another SET of Hammers will fall from the sky to BATTLE the worthy's. Hopefully, the Hammer of the WORTHY gets to be made 3D objects in Heroclix

[LabRat]

Eto description ng mga nabasa ko na tie ins:

Fear Itself: Book of the Skull #1
- explains how Sin found out about the Skadi hammer
Fear Itself: Deadpool #1-3
- if you don't like Deadpool, skip
Fear Itself: The Deep #1-4 [41]
- Reformed Defenders vs Attuma
Fear Itself: FF #1
- Thing vs Invisible Woman; background on why the hammer has such an influence on Thing
Fear Itself: Fearsome Four #1-4
- SKIP!
Fear Itself: The Home Front #1-7
- Fear Itself side story, main focus is on Speedball. Adds to the Fear Itself experience to see how the people are handling the crisis.
Fear Itself: Sin's Past #1
- Background on Sin and reprinted Captain America issues on Sin
Fear Itself: Spider-Man #1-3
- What Spider-Man was doing during Fear Itself prior to joining up with the rest of the Avengers. Can be skipped. Spider-Man vs Thing in the 3rd issue.
Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt #1-6
- Pinapakita yung ginagawa ng Initiative heroes. Can be skipped
Fear Itself: Wolverine #1-3
- So far, it's Wolvie vs some terrorists taking advantage of the chaos. Can be skipped.
Alpha Flight #1-8
- Alpha Flight vs Attuma in 1st issue. 2nd issue is Alpha Flight-centric. Can be skipped
Avengers Academy #15-19
- Shows the students helping in Washington against Sin's forces. Pym/Quicksilver/Justice vs Absorbing Man/Titania in 2nd issue
Avengers #13-17/New Avengers #14-16
- Nalalabuan na ako sa style ni Bendis. Red Hulk vs Thing in New York, Ms. Marvel/Spider-Woman/Noh-varr/Hawkeye vs Hulk in South America.
Black Panther: The Man Without Fear #521-523
- If you're not a Black Panther fan, can be skipped.
Ghost Rider #1-??
- 1st issue shows an encounter between Sin and the new Ghost Rider. Looks like it can be skipped.
Heroes for Hire #9-11
- Paladin/Gargoyle vs Thing in New York, Elektra/Shroud helping out at the Raft.
Herc #3-6
- If you're not a Hercules fan, can be skipped.
Iron Man 2.0 #5-7
- Starts with War Machine and Prince of Orphans in Washington, then they join up with the Immortal Weapons in China where Absorbing Man's hammer landed. Immortal Weapons/War Machine vs Absorbing Man/Titania. Hate to admit it, but this can be skipped.
The Invincible Iron Man #503-508
- Iron Man vs Grey Gargoyle in Paris, then Iron Man goes to Asgard to help build weapons against the Worthy. Must read.
Journey into Mystery #622-628
- What the Asgardians are doing after leaving Earth. Background on the Serpent/All-Father. Very little action but I think it adds to the experience. Plus, Young Loki is fascinating.
Secret Avengers #13-15
- Spotlight issues on some of the Secret Avengers. First 2 issues can be skipped.
Thunderbolts #158-163
- The Thunderbolts deal with the fallout at the Raft, then they try to stop the Juggernaut somewhere in the midwest. Read this.
Uncanny X-Men #540-543
-The X-Men try to stop the Juggernaut in San Francisco. If you want to see Cyclops giving orders to Magneto, read this. Magneto vs Juggernaut sounds like quite a battle, but so far I'm underwhelmed.

[maniladawg]

I liked Fear Itself: The Deep. Namor got his butt kicked by Attuma really good. I was disappointed with the Spidey Tie-In when he battles the Angrir (Thing-Worthy) to a draw. Common, Spidey drew with an Amped-Up Thing.

[LabRat]

Maybe the Thing was holding back? I'm planning on re-reading everything once all the titles have been released. But Spider-man should've lost, if they weren't in a hospital...

[iron_cowboy]

@labrat (AL),thanks for the info!:cool:

[maniladawg]

Any good COMIC SERIES. All i'm reading to date is the LARGE CROSSOVER EVENTS. Is SCHISM good??

[LabRat]

^^ It's okay. Prelude has nothing to do about Schism (I think). Schism is starting out as a political story. Resurgence of the Hellfire Club.

Uncanny X-Force is consistently good. The team is currently trapped in the Age of Apocalypse universe, so if you're an AoA fan, pick this up.

Amazing Spider-Man is also good. 2 issues monthly, Spider-Island is coming up (the Jackal is giving civilians spider powers).

JLA #1 will come out in September. Under Geoff Johns and Jim Lee - enough reason for me to at least give the first run a try.

I like Avengers Academy the best out of the 4 monthly Avengers titles, but it's lacking star power.

[spiderknyt]

generation hope is surprisingly good and avengers academy nga...

[maniladawg]

Yes, I'm also reading Academy. Pretty Good. Just downloading spider-island.

[jmz4lyf]

Annihilation & Annihilation Conquest are pretty good.

Guardians of the Galaxy baby! hahaha

EDIT: Annihilators pala sobrang lupit puro heavy hitters tapos me tie-in ng Groot and Rocket Raccoon

[Armageddon Star]

Hi!

I bought absolute already, so i'm selling my hardcover versions of Justice (Alex Ross) Volume 1 & 3 for 1,500... just tell me...

Thanks :)

Also looking for the hardcover version of batman: crimson mist (199x pa to) just in case anyone is letting go..

[LabRat]

I discovered a non-Marvel, non-DC, non-superhero monthly title that I can't stop reading. It's Morning Glories, published by Image. Read it!

My write-up discussing the Fear Itself tie-ins that have already wrapped up here (http://thecomicgeek.wordpress.com/2011/08/14/fear-itself-guide-to-tie-ins-part-1/).

[maniladawg]

Half Way through Morning Glories. Damn Good!

[LabRat]

Half Way through Morning Glories. Damn Good!

Yeah! The setting and violence reminds me of that Battle Royale manga but without losing that element of mystery. I find all 6 characters interesting, this is good enough to get a TPB of soon.

[LabRat]

Picked up the Uncanny X-Men Fear Itself tie-in. Galing, daming plano ni Cyclops kay Juggernaut.

[ecchs]

just finished reading the last issue of Secret Six (#36). Wow!! what a way to go.........

speaking of reboots: since DC's "New 52" is upon us, this is a nice read ->
from Newsarama.com : Top 10 DC Moments Worth Forgetting (http://www.newsarama.com/comics/10-dc-moments-worth-forgetting-110829-1.html)

[darkjacen]

Bakit wala yung murder ni Mogo by John Stewart?!?!?!

[Armageddon Star]

Because it still happened. Btw, sue dibny is still dead right? And alex (kyle) is also still dead right? I wonder why they are there.

[darkjacen]

Because it still happened. Btw, sue dibny is still dead right? And alex (kyle) is also still dead right? I wonder why they are there.

It's because it's not a "Top 10 events that will be erased" But a "Top 10 DC moments worth forgetting". Big difference. They're not saying it shouldn't have happened, they're saying it should be forgotten. :tired:

You I don't like now.:p Find another Kilowog bwahahaha:laugh:

[spiderknyt]

Justice League 01 is out...its good. Pero parang image comics, lots of action and splash pages, konti story content. Ganda pa rin asrt ni jim lee...walang kupas!

You guys should read uncanny xforce, ganda! and Xmen Schism! And my new favorite: Generation Hope.

Spider island is very good.

The Mighty Thor is mediocre..pero top notch ang art, pati Captain America, ganda ng art, pero lugi ka sa page count: 200 php for 20 pages of story.

[LabRat]

Found Justice League to be just average. But then what should I expect from a comic that features different heroes gathering together to fight major threats? Great art by Jim Lee, I like his redesigns but it's going to be a pain for other artists to recreate his new costumes.

[darkjacen]

I agree. Yung X-force is more intriguing than I originally thought it would be. Good art, and a very compelling story. My only nitpick would be that hey ruined AoA.

New Mutants isn't half bad either. The art is a bit erratic though, minsan okay minsan palpak...But hey si Nate Grey andun, I ain't complaining.:p

Knyt, yung Astonishing X-men ba okay?

[maniladawg]

I just hope they keep the FIRST STRINGERS in the line up for a while. The LAST Justice League of America reboot had a STRONG CAST to start with then quickly devolved into SECOND stringers. This is a formula to losing your fans. Keep the FIRST STRINGERS in for the most part and DEVELOP the second stringers from there. Give the FANS time to warm up to the OTHER characters.

As far JLA #1 goes. Love Jim Lee! Hoping that the story lines are GOOD.

[LabRat]

Got the penultimate chapters of two of Marvel's ongoing events right now - Fear Itself #6 and Schism #4.

Fear Itself #6 was a good read, but I think the slow pacing of the first 5 issues really killed off a lot of it's momentum. #6 shouldn't have been #6 - this should have been #5 or even #4. Now it looks like all the cool battles are going to be compressed into #7. Very similar with how Fraction wrote Utopia, where the final battle(s) was squeezed into 1 issue, resulting in a lot of the action happening off panel (meaning, most of the action left to the reader's imagination).

Schism is okay, but I can't completely buy Wolverine's reason for disagreeing with Cyclops' leadership. After everything that Logan's experienced and done throughout his life, he decides to stop following Cyclops for this??????

[onslaught666]

well, knowing logan...

he can do anything...

logan is logan. ever since...eheheh...

[darkjacen]

Yeah, it doesn't make sense, considering he's been handling the black-ops team of x-men. The issue itself really didn't strike me as being anything other than a turf war between Cyke and Wolvie...again.

You fight for what you have, you don't blow it up. Then there's the rumor that Cyke will be following Magneto's doctrine and Wolvie Prof X's. How ironic that the man who used to tell Chuck that things won't work that way will be pushing for it. To be frank, I'm disappointed by that X-title.:tired:

Buti pa X-force with the all new and improved Archangel is a good read. Same with X-Factor and New Mutants.:cheeky:

[LabRat]

It makes a little sense in that X-Force has to do the things they do in order for others not to have to do it. But Cyke wasn't ... Next time na lang baka spoilers masyado eh.

[spiderknyt]

@ darkjacen

Astonishing xmen is not good at this point. Baduy and insignificant yung story.

Schism is actually good. When you read Xforce (hindi uncanny xforce), nakita na ni wolverine what happens pag nabinyagan yung kids pumatay, malaking negative effect as seen with x-23. Ayaw na nya maulit. Sya rin kasi pinatay nya tatay nya when he was young...so alam nya effect ng ganung trauma.

same here. am currently into x-factor and uncanny x-force. So frustrated with the other x-titles. much better to just read/reminisce the old issues.

[darkjacen]

Ecchs, haven't you heard? Yung x-titles magiging issue #1 parang sa ginawa ng DC sa titles nila? :laugh:

[blacknife]

Have been reading quite a few #1 issues from DC52 and noticed a woman wearing a purple hooded suit in all of them (so far)
I saw her in:
Wonder Woman
Deadman
Catwoman
Capt. Atom
Blue Beetle
Batman & Robin
Legion Lost
Action Comics
Detective Comics
Justice League
Red Hood
Suicide Squad
Batgirl
Green Lantern
JLI
Deathstroke
Red Lanterns
Green Lantern Corps
Frankenstein
Supergirl

Naalala ko tuloy yung "Slice of Life" ni Larry Alcala sa Weekend Magazine na hahanapin mo yung mukha nya;)
Good times:)

But Cyclops is only asking for help fighting a Sentinel, and the kids were volunteering... Wolverine's been mentoring Kitty, Jubilee, even Armor, and now he's got issues with the Five Lights helping out to defend Utopia?

[Geof-Force]

But Cyclops is only asking for help fighting a Sentinel, and the kids were volunteering... Wolverine's been mentoring Kitty, Jubilee, even Armor, and now he's got issues with the Five Lights helping out to defend Utopia?

Cyclops wasn't exactly asking. And it was a virtual suicide mission. There's a difference between training young ones to handle themselves in a tight spot and in feeding them to the wolves when there are other options. Cyclops is becoming more "by any means necessary"-ala Magneto which Wolvie has issues with.

Regardless, this whole "Schism" storyline is meh. Take me back to the 90's when big events actually made sense.:devious:

[ecchs]

Ecchs, haven't you heard? Yung x-titles magiging issue #1 parang sa ginawa ng DC sa titles nila? :laugh:

yah, i know. with that happening and the secret six series over, it's good na marami pa akong di nababasa sa stash ko na mga back issues from different comics. oh and yung bagong DD pala, ok naman, featuring Cap and Klaw (recently re-clixed:)).

He was. And Hope's unit basically volunteered. Cyke even said that if anyone wants to leave, they can go.

But agreed on the storyline. It's okay, but it's clear that it was written with the goal of dividing the X-Men, a change in status quo so it feels really forced for me.

Schism finally ended. A good ending, I think.

[darkjacen]

Schism finally ended. A good ending, I think.

Kinda weirded out by it actually. Logan actually following Chuck's original ideology seems like a forced fit. He was always against it. Let's face it, the only reason he stayed behind was because of JEAN GREY. Now he's all about "The x-men are home..." Not like him at all. Either that or old man Logan's finally getting tired of fighting.

Either that or old man Logan's finally getting tired of fighting.

I think instead of going with the cliche that Scott would take the reins, Marvel recognized that a) People expect that and b) Wolverine sells. Thus, the shift in the paradigm. So now, the rivalry of Prof. X vs. Magneto is recreated in Logan vs. Scott.

It makes sense, in a way. I'd like it more if the development didn't feel forced and rushed.

[LabRat]

Someone at a different messageboard mentioned an event that happened in Wolverine's title that made him this way. Maybe they should have referenced that in this storyline so that it didn't feel as forced as it does.

The way the conflict was resolved in the last issue felt natural to me, especially that last scene with Logan and Idie. Logan's always been close to younger mutants, serving as mentors to them. And isn't Cyclops' version of the X-Men the most militaristic version?

Not surprising since even Daddy Mags is on his side. What I find surprising, though, is that Colossus and Storm (both loudspoken supporters of Prof. X's original vision) are actually siding with him (again, I miss the 90's).

[LabRat]

Colossus, that's easy. Read the Fear Itself tie-ins - he's not the same guy anymore. Storm, I'm not sure why she's still at Cyke's side. Maybe she knows what it's like to be in his shoes?

If you read JG-Men fast enough, it sound like Jejemon. Try it. HA HA.

Just got my copy of Justice League #2 (the only DC title that I'm getting) and the action is picking up. Nice art as can be expected from Jim Lee.

Also got Annihilators Earthfall #2. I picked #1 by accident, decided to stick with it and I'm glad that I did. A great read from DnA.

[dorkour]

It seems awkward right now that Wolverine has turned soft. It makes for an interesting plot. But eventually, he'll be pushed against the wall and he'll be forced to make his students fight. Which brings back the 'schism' argument. But Cyclops shows his support to the school by including the kids in his blanket of protection. They will fight back-to-back once more. And at this point, no one's right. It's all a matter of perspective. :)

[Geof-Force]

And this is a good example of where the adage "Don't judge a book by it's cover" applies :) I read the issue and Ed Brubaker did a good job explaining how Bucky survived, and more importantly, why it was kept under wraps.


I've been catching up on my comic-reading and I'm glad I picked up Justice League. A perfect DC title for a non-DC reader like me. It's about time that DC gave the League some A-List treatment.
